Forte F44 cap question

Hey guys, I’m thinking about replacing all of the caps in the Forte F44 preamp I picked up a couple weeks ago. I’ve done plenty of speaker crossover work so I’m hoping not to get in over my head on this one. The majority of the caps are your standard electrolytics and some square film caps, but there are these 4 caps that I’m unsure of the type due to them being positioned horizontally. Do you guys know what the deal is with these??

Polarized 100uf 50v capacitor axial lead- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Thank you Trey! Now why would they only use that style in four spots? I haven’t been able to track down a schematic so maybe those caps don’t mean much in terms of sound quality but how am I supposed to match whatever series cap I use for the rest of the electrolytic caps?

A capacitor like that, I would simply go spec for spec and don't deviate unless you trace the circuit or find the schematic to find out more about them- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Due to size restraints I was thinking of going Panasonic FC or FM series for the rest of the electrolytic caps. Is there a preference here? I’ve read good things about both.

Also, it was recommended by Jon Soderberg to replace the power supply diodes with fast recovery ones. Should I just be looking for a UF4004 diode in general since the others are labeled 1N4004 I think?
